On January 30, Elle Korea released a new video on its official YouTube channel featuring Rosé answering a series of lighthearted questions. During the interview, she was asked about being selected as the top-ranked woman on the globally recognized list—and her response quickly caught fans’ attention.
Visibly shy, Rosé admitted she was still struggling to process the achievement. “I honestly still don’t really understand it. It doesn’t feel real,” she said with a laugh, adding that she felt deeply grateful for the recognition.
When asked if she had any “beauty secrets,” Rosé gave a refreshingly down-to-earth answer. “I try to fill my days with happiness by eating delicious food and always smiling brightly,” she shared. She also jokingly revealed her current cravings, saying she has been obsessed with strawberries this winter and enjoys eating things like dried squid as well.
Rosé’s ranking was officially announced in December 2025 by U.S.-based film site TC Candler, which publishes its annual “100 Most Beautiful Faces” list through global public nominations and editorial review. Her No.1 placement in the female category immediately became a hot topic across international fan communities.
The 2025 list once again highlighted the global influence of K-pop, with numerous Korean idols making the cut. aespa’s Karina ranked 8th, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo placed 11th, while TWICE’s Tzuyu came in at 20th. Other notable names included Lisa at 22nd, Jeon Somi at 24th, and IVE’s Jang Wonyoung at 26th.
Rosé’s top ranking not only underscores her individual star power but also reinforces K-pop’s continued dominance in global pop culture—proving that her impact extends far beyond music alone.
